Using linters in a professional setting is more like moving all your actual employees into a different office and letting them use robot avatars in the original office who can never step on that landmine.

The benefit of this is that millions of other robots continue to depend on the original office being exactly as it is and many of them will never change or update, nor is their any need for them to.

Breaking backwards compatibility on the web needs much better reasoning than 'I don't want to use a linter'.
